Just
as men and women experience life differently, so too is their giving behaviour
different. Women regard money as a source of freedom, security and a way to
achieve goals and they see charitable giving as the most satisfying aspect of
having wealth. As a result many Women’s Funds have emerged around the
world, with New Zealand’s first one launched in November 2017.

Coming
together and giving collectively appeals to women’s desire to create
relationships and work together. It enables women to give socially and with
impact and recognises the powerful potential women and girls have to make
positive change happen in their communities. Empowered women share their
gains with their wider whānau and their community.

change. Hear from a broad spectrum of women giving and learn from their
experiences. Explore how we’re doing as girls and women in New
Zealand and the positive impact applying a gender lens to our philanthropy can
